Usage: terraform plan [options] [dir]

  Generates an execution plan for Terraform.

  This execution plan can be reviewed prior to running apply to get a
  sense for what Terraform will do. Optionally, the plan can be saved to
  a Terraform plan file, and apply can take this plan file to execute
  this plan exactly.

Options:

  -backup=path        Path to backup the existing state file before
                      modifying. Defaults to the "-state-out" path with
                      ".backup" extension. Set to "-" to disable backup.

  -destroy            If set, a plan will be generated to destroy all resources
                      managed by the given configuration and state.

  -no-color           If specified, output won't contain any color.

  -out=path           Write a plan file to the given path. This can be used as
                      input to the "apply" command.

  -refresh=true       Update state prior to checking for differences.

  -state=statefile    Path to a Terraform state file to use to look
                      up Terraform-managed resources. By default it will
                      use the state "terraform.tfstate" if it exists.

  -var 'foo=bar'      Set a variable in the Terraform configuration. This
                      flag can be set multiple times.

  -var-file=foo       Set variables in the Terraform configuration from
                      a file. If "terraform.tfvars" is present, it will be
                      automatically loaded if this flag is not specified.

The Terraform execution plan has been generated and is shown below.

Note: You didn't specify an "-out" parameter to save this plan, so when
